I have a Inspiron 7559 laptop, with Nvidia 960M gpu. I installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, then installed nvidia drivers and bumblebee and it ran fine. Recently, I upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04 ,installed nvidia 390 drivers,and bumblebee doesn’t work. After a bit of googling, I found out that bumblebee doesn’t p…

Things to try: Switch to intel, reboot, switch back to nvidia, reboot Add Option "PrimaryGPU" "true" inside the outputclass of /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf Try with the v390 driver check if the file /lib/modprobe.d/nvidia-kms.conf exists and change modeset=1 to modeset=0 then …

Try with kernel parameter nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to get vsync.

Oh yeah, enabling v-sync with nvidia-drm.modeset=1 fixed the animation issues. I dont have any problem now.

Just giving my 5 cents here. I had very similar issue myself. Previously I had used bumblebee but now I had decided to move to pure Nvidia. Running: sudo prime-select nvidia Did nothing. In order to fix this I purged Bumblebee sudo apt purge bumblebee This resulted in black screen during boot wh…
